WHO’S USING CHEAT SHEETS?
Keith Urban gave Dierks Bentley and Jason Aldean a little scare recently when he asked the two openers for his show to join him on stage to perform the 1975 Eagles hit “Take it to the Limit” in Virginia and Kansas. Bentley and Aldean both had to make some “cheat sheets” before the performance because neither had performed the song live. Bentley wrote lyrics on his arm with a marker at his show and Aldean taped notes to the mic stand. The crowd helped by singing along both nights. Check out the videos HERE.
